Snow: A Retelling of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (2006)
This book was a quick read and you can probably get it done in a day. I almost wish there was more just because I really loved the characters a lot and I wanted for antics between Snow and the "7 dwarves" who are actually a group of human/animal hybrids. Summary:Jessica is a duchess from the co...

Beauty Sleep: A Retelling of Sleeping Beauty (2006)
This review is also posted on my blog.(view spoiler)[I’m new enough at writing reviews that it’s still always relatively difficult to figure out where to start, but something about fairy tale retellings makes it seem even *harder*.I’m sure it’s the traditional fairy tale aspects. The magic out of...

Once Upon a Time’s The Storyteller’s Daughter(Cameron Dokey) Dec. 1-2, 2014A fairy tale that is new to my hearing. I was hesitant to read it because I’m not a big fan of fairy tales, but I really don’t know what I have eaten that made my mind open up this book. I guess I just want some new taste...

I read reviews of this book on Amazon and there was nothing but positive things about the book. I finished this in about 30-40 minutes and Loved it! *SPOILER*The ...
Once Upon a Time - Bylo nebylo (2014)
I’m a great fan of OUaT, the tv series, and when I discovered there was a book… well, I couldn’t keep myself from reading it. The idea of fairytale characters trapped into the real world is astonishing, I grew up with those fairytales and reading them in those circumstances is probably one of the...
A Once Upon A Time Tale: Reawakened (2013)
Even though I have watched the first season at least 3 times, I really enjoyed the book. It's not the script. It's like a tale of the episodes adding a depth to some characters, especially Snow and Emma. It does leave out many things. For example, Belle is barely mentioned. The book is all about ...
Once Upon a Time Renaissance (2013)
I tried, I really did, but this is basically just a novelization of the script for the pilot. Granted, it could be more than that, but that's as far as I got. I adore the show, but I can easily watch the first season in Netflix instead of reading it from the library. I was hoping that this was go...
